I liked this part about nature in "Chapter 3 - The Girl" about the comparison between the sound of the wood and an old friend.
A lot of people aren't anymore used to the sounds of nature: some didn't even notice them, while others are even scaried by them... but nature is what we all are part of and if one listens carefully to her, there's nothing more beautiful and peaceful: as you wrote, it's like listening to an old friend, maybe for a long time neglected, but never really forgotten.
The sounds in the woods were like old friends. They could be cool and rushy, or pattering and crunchy like it was now. Sometimes it was empty and eerie, and sometimes flush with life and music. But no matter the mood of the land, there was always a special undercurrent of ease that accompanied an unperturbed forest. The sound of everything as it should be, in harmony with nature. One could feel it, as one with enough experience could feel out the hopjack paths.
Here's a !LOLZ :) even if it doesn't fit the mood of this reply... but I haven't more appropriated tip tokens (I haven't another tip token TBH!).

Thank you for this lovely comment! I grew up near the woods so I definitely resonate with the "old friend" idea :)
